Duas for Exams

Whether you are a student of 8th grade in a school or a post-graduate student in University, Exams are always a nightmare. No matter what age group you belong to, exams have their general fear and stress. Some people take exams so seriously that they tend to have exam fever. And that’s not a joke, Myself-experienced grumbles in my stomach before my exam ( particularly mathematics). So here are few Duas for exams. Reciting these Duas for exams can help you release nervousness and perform better in the exam. But this does not mean that you should stop preparation for exams, and count only on these Duas for a good grade in exams.

One of my teachers used to say,

There are two crucial ingredients of success in any task of life, Effort, and will of ALLAH Almighty, and both are equally important. Don’t ever think you can succeed by hard work and effort only, you will always be needing the support of ALLAH. And If you think mere Duas would make you realize, without any effort or hardship by you”.

You need a perfect blend of hardship and before time preparation along with Duas for Exams.

Dua for success in exams

Wain yureedoo an yakhdaAAooka fainna hasbaka Allahu huwa allathee ayyadaka binasrihi wabialmumineena
“But if they intend to deceive you – then sufficient for you is Allah. It is He who supported you with His help and with the believers” [8:62]

To remember forgotten things

The following Dua was taught by the Holy Prophet (S.A.) to Ali (A.S.), to recite after every obligatory Salaat, for developing a perfect memory. Make it a habit or at least recite the dua before the exam.

Glory be to Him, who does not treat the citizens of His Kingdom unjustly and harshly, Glory is to Him, who does not let torment and pain come suddenly upon humanity, Glory be to the Compassionate, the Merciful. O Allah fill my heart and mind with true enlightenment, discerning intelligence, quick understanding and knowledge, Verily Thou art able to do all things.

Dua for full expressiveness in exams

Prophet Musa had Dua of nonfluent speech. The supplication of Prophet SWT (peace be upon him)in Surah Taha, which he did to get compassion of ALLAH sub-Hana hu was tala :

”O my Lord! Open my chest for me and make my task easy for me and make loose the knot from my tongue so that they understand my speech” surah Taaha verse 25-28

Out of all Duas for exams. I recite this Dua more often, as it’s not only for exams, it helps to improve your expressiveness both written and verbal. So it can serve to be a multi-purpose supplication, use it before delivering lectures and speeches, before interviews or at any place where you think you need it.

Dua for maintaining concentration in exam

The following can be one of the best Duas for exams as most of us experience loss of strength while preparing for exams or while attempting exam paper.

Asalam Alaykum

it is nice to read all the beautiful duaa’s .you are doing great work and keep it up.i wanted to know the duaa for concentration could you tell me which quranic verse it is or where can i find it. i would appreciate if you could reply me

Aslam u alaikum… thnx fr spreading such good knowledge… i want to knw a dua which can help me after the exams… means i am done with my exams i want to know a dua which i can recite daily to get good result …i actually tried hard in my exams but i am not satisfied with my performance so plz tell me a dua which can help me in getting good result..

wa alikum salam.
why donot you give a try to “salah tul haaja” . its simple, you have to offer 2 rakaah,and then read the mentioned dua-e-hajat .
and one more thing , specific words of dua may matter, but what actually counts is your longing for a dua, how sincerely you have made it ! it doesn’t matter what language you make dua in 🙂 add emotions and feelings to your dua, what ever the subject may be 🙂
keep visiting our blog.
JAZKALLAH.

its so nice to read your complement Vasillisa Ali. for the problem you have explained, try to me more focused. jot down the tasks you want to do, or make up a list of things to do in your mind, and then prioratize them. make it a habit, keep on thinking about things, which ones are more important ? which problem needs to be solved earlier, try to prioritize every thing in your life. keep on judging importance of things, and decide like wise. i hope it helps you 🙂

Marsha Allah may Allah grant you all best of rewards and lead you to the best final destination of paradise. We as humans sometimes get miracles revealed to us right in front of our eyes and we still don’t understand, whatever your exams hold will lead you to the best destiny catered for you. Remember Allah and understand worrying is not going to get things done, I am a worry freak myself and I sometimes worry to the extent of nott sleeping sleep during the night. Worry just carries you away from what’s important. I know it’s not Islamic but have a look at this quote:
`in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and
recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before
you and how fabulous you really looked .
Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing
bubblegum.` It’s one of the best quotes I have come across.

I saw above duas jazakallah for that I am doing my post grad but the problem is I dont have exams I need to give my assignments. I just want to clear my self is duas can be useful for the assignments as well

wa alikum salaam ihashan… 🙂
you can choose from the mentioned above for assignments also, for example the one for developing concentration in your work or the one for clearity in your expression (Ribbi sharahlii sadrii … )…

Ya ALLAH bestow us with enlightenment of heart and deep sight and understanding and knowledge, indeed YOU have command over every thing”

@Abdullah
waalikum salaam, wish you very good luck for exam. remember, staying calm and keeping your brain fully functional is the most important thing in any time of difficulty. So you must stop panicking, instead focus your energies on preparing for exams! My teacher used to say, there are two basic elements of success “Will of ALMIGHTY and effort”. To do effort is your responsibility, be vigilant in it. To have will of ALLAH in your favor, you need to pray and just leave the rest of matters on ALLAH 🙂
